I tested it at 85, still .85. Easy to see /w ranged attacks since they still cap at 3.0 pdif~

Well that's interesting.

Sorry if I am totally 'tarded, but who did/where are people getting the icon pack that has just a big solid number for the utsu icon?

Thanks, found it through a search of his posts.

EDIT: or I suppose that link would've been faster

Not exactly in-game related, but random nonetheless...

Has anybody ever been able to successfully roll back character data without their account having been hacked/compromised? I had a hilariously pathetic rage situation about a year ago and trashed everything (CDs, cd keys, security token... the works) and deleted the account. I'm in the slow process of recovering this information so I can log on again, but was wondering if it'd be pointless to try to request a rollback to before I got rid of all my stuff. Rules say they won't do this for me, but maybe if I give a good enough sob story...? Anybody ever had any luck with this?

Friend tried and was denied. If your account was not compromised they wont do it.
(or if it didn't "appear to be compromised" for those of you who cheated the system :O )

SE could give less of a fuck, honestly. They denied my request for a rollback after i was hacked because I "waited too long to respond". The funny part is, I didn't respond because THE EMAIL I HAD TO RESPOND TO DIDNT COME FOR TWO FUCKING WEEKS. Told them this, the response was "too bad". So yeah, don't hold your breath.

Try:
"My asshole brother got on my account and trashed everything."

lol, thanks I might try something like that.

Thanks for the replies. I don't have my hopes set very high, but I'll still give a shot once everything else is sorted out. At least I'll still have my r/e stuff D:

I thought the only requirement for completing zone boss quests was to enter the zone and kill the NM. However, my friend is saying someone he knows is claiming not to have received the lunar abyssite despite having defeated a zone boss. This would imply that more is necessary to receive the lunar abyssite. Is there a prerequisite before killing the zone boss (Mis Coast specifically)?

Customer service is something that takes a while to make work sometimes. The advantage is that every rep is different and sometimes you can say the same thing and get 4 different answers each time you call in.

I had a situation where I had linked my brothers account to my token when he quit and I acquired his char. Obviously, he came back and I was getting really sick of txting him token codes with his constant dc'ing so i called SE up to try to have them unlink the account, which btw, clearly states that it cannot be done right on the top page where you do it. The first 3 times I called in they told me that "It cannot be done, the system won't allow it", "we can't do that" or "I'm sorry but your sol". The fourth time I called in, I got someone who understood the system, understood my situation and understood that SE is making an ton of money off of my, at the time, 5 accounts and helped me make it happen. Simple fact is that much of what a customer service rep does is based on what they want to go through the effort of doing. If one person says no, just keep pushing and pushing till they realize it will be far less costly and less trouble to just give you what you want so you'll stop fucking calling. But do not forget to be respectful, the fastest way to fuck yourself is to be rude or start cursing. Just tell the truth and let them know just how important this is to you. Eventually, you may get someone who cares enough to help you out.

Just completed Aiodos' Rhingrave +1 (legs), is there any reason to actively carry/keep Choral Cannions +1 now?

Group 2 merits for war? None seem very useful...

**Mercilessturtle** · 2010-09-27 22:08

Yeah they are all pretty meh. 5 WC 1 tomahawk 4 savagery. Can do more tomahawk if you'll get use out of it, not like savagery is amazing.

You need a stone to get the cs at the maw, to actually get the quest. If he never entered mis. coast with a stone handy (to get cs) and killed boss anyway, he wouldn't have the quest active and it wouldn't count. That's the only thing I can think of, since you can enter the zone without a stone but you won't get the quest cs.

**rog** · 2010-09-27 22:25

Yeah, i was thinking about just throwing some merits in savagery, but it's pretty useless really. Right now i've got 3 wc, 1 tomahawk, and wc is negligible at best, and i've yet to use tomahawk. Ah well, i've got so many extra merits now that my ls has been cleave burning every day, may as well throw them in, even if they aren't doing almost anyway.
